"Imagine a children’s museum transformed to create a perfect evening of fun and play for grownups, where adults can become kids again for just one night," said Sharman Sherfey, Director of Development and Public Relations. "There will be a multitude of games, entertainment, and incredible food and drinks throughout the entire Museum."

Now in its 13th year, "Amuse"Um is known as one of the best parties in Chattanooga, with near-capacity crowds of over 600 attendees for the last three years.

"Amy Snetman and Terry Miles, our “Amuse”Um 2009 co-chairs, and their committees have had great fun planning this year's party. They've put together an incredible line up of activities," said Sherfey.
